Registration for exhibit space at the 80th General Convention of The Episcopal Church is now open to all organizations and vendors. This triennial event is scheduled for July 7–14, 2022, at the Baltimore Convention Center in Baltimore, Maryland. Space is limited, and over half of the floorplan has been reserved.

The General Convention is the largest gathering of Episcopalians from across the church, domestically and abroad. With hundreds of bishops and elected lay and ordained deputies, plus many volunteers, guests, and other visitors also participating, exhibitors can expect thousands of people to pass through the exhibit area.

Exhibits will open at 4 p.m. on Wednesday, July 6, and run daily through 2 p.m. on Tuesday, July 12.

As of September, demand for reserving housing space during the event already has reached a record high, leading organizers to anticipate that 2022 will be one of the largest convention gatherings to date.

For more information and to register, please visit episcopalgc.fernexpo.com/2022/. Discounted rates may be available to groups affiliated with The Episcopal Church and for other nonprofit organizations.

Fern Exposition has been designated to manage registration, logistics, and oversight of the exhibit area. For exhibit-related questions, please contact episcopalexhibits@fernexpo.com.
